Warner Bros. released the first teaser for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, confirming a February 13, 2026 theatrical date and showcasing a sultrier take on Emily Brontë’s novel led by Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. The footage leans into heightened romance and stylized period imagery on the Yorkshire moors, positioning the film as a Valentine’s corridor play.
The teaser’s soundscape features new music from Charli XCX, part of a soundtrack plan that pairs original songs with a score by Anthony Willis, while cinematography is by Oscar winner Linus Sandgren. The production is backed by LuckyChap, MRC and Warner Bros., with Fennell writing, directing and producing her third feature following Promising Young Woman and Saltburn.
Early reaction has focused on the film’s sensual tone and boldly modern costuming choices, with clips and stills circulating widely across official channels and social platforms. Alongside the lead duo, the ensemble includes Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton and Alison Oliver as Isabella Linton.
The rollout has revived long-running debates about Heathcliff’s racial identity in the text and the expectations placed on new screen versions of literary touchstones. While many viewers praised the cast and the operatic presentation, others questioned departures from period conventions and character descriptions; the discourse intensified after the teaser’s release.
The project arrives amid sustained interest in prestige literary adaptations and marks a high-profile reunion of creative partners: Robbie produces through LuckyChap and headlines for the first time under Fennell’s direction, while Elordi extends a run of prominent roles into a marquee studio drama. With a prime-date launch and a trailer built around mood, music and desire, the campaign signals a lush, large-scale treatment of Brontë’s story.
